Codependent Poems | Examples


THE CODEPENDENT NARCISSIST

Hmmm...she will do
I think he's looking at me
Not much to look at
He's moving this way
Yap, she's unsure
I better look around

"Hi there, beautiful
May I buy you a drink?"
......"SURE".....

Oh crap...that sounded needy
Oh, this is definitely, THE ONE
I should have played coy
She will serve me well
Help me Lord, I don't know
Just one more move to go

"Care to dance?"
"I'm a clutz."
"Just follow my lead."
"You make it easy."

Two moves, that's all it took
For the bait and hook
To connect to tissue
Never alone again
Too little and too much
Bringing balance to any issue

....that separates....

He taught me why I must try to outlive everybody.
He taught me we all have to rely on at least somebody.
He taught me attunement to the madness of my body.

Codependency

I need you to need me,
So I can be happy.
I just want to help,
Let me love you,
Let me care for you.
Please, 
Don't hate me.
I just want to make you happy.
I’ll be yours for as long as you'll have me.
Forever, infinity,
You’ll be my always,
For as short as that may be.
I’ll be your dime piece
For as long as you’ll love me.
I promise,
I can make you happy.
No, please don’t leave me,
It’ll probably kill me,
Knowing my help wasn’t what you needed.
That ruins me,
I’m so sorry.
I’m sorry I wasn’t enough
To make you happy,
To make you love me.
I loved you with all I had
And you STILL hurt me.
I thought unconditional wouldn’t hurt me,
But, codependency has me by the throat,
In a choke hold.
You’re my forever.
I thought,
As I put you on that pedestal.
Little did I know that would
Completely destroy me
And belittle the happiness within me.

Codependent

We ache for those
we truly love.
You hurt when I hurt.
Whether we live here,
on earth, or continue on,
up above.
